A peace mill in old Amsterdam...

A letter came today from the landlord (part of a long-running and very boring dispute about painting the walls):

“We have delayed carrying out any works having made a number of enquiries and receiving a consistent comment that carrying out some works and others in a peace mill fashion would lead to exaggerated or much higher costs than undertaking external decorations and repairs as a whole.”

Alas, Google reveals no citations – although there is a bookshop by that name…
